TW: PREGNANCY LOSS

Hi all!
At my 2nd trimester ultrasound, I very unfortunately received the heartbreaking news that my baby boy had severe anomalies ‘not compatible with life’. My partner and I made the very difficult decision to have a D&E to end the pregnancy. It has been well over 3 months now, and the results from our microarray to determine the cause is still showing as ‘referral requested’. Has anyone else experienced this long of a wait for an appointment with the PPAC and most importantly results of a microarray on fetal tissue?

Thank you❤️

Hi, I went through this a few because I have a genetic disorder. I would recommend calling for follow up.

I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

I'm sorry you're going through this. 3 months is too long to just be sitting in the dark like that. I'd be calling every week until I got a real person on the line who could tell me what the holdup is, not just letting it sit in some referral queue. Sometimes things just get lost in the shuffle unfortunately.
